I figured out how to reproduce this (now on 6.4) Make sure you have quanta installed on a gnome desktop Make sure you have one ftp server listed. Make sure the passwords for the ftp server are listed in both the gnome and kde password managers.
Open nautilus. Open the ftp server. (login trough password manager) Double click a file that should open with quanta. Before receiving the kde password dialog, Double click an other file that should open with quanta. If the first quanta has not yet started and authenticated with the server. The kio slave of the following quanta screen blocks (probably, on the password dialog), and in turn blocks the first quata's password dialog. Because the whole quanta startup, and authentication procedure takes quit a while, it's not that hard to trigger this lockup. Killing both quanta's and all kio slaves, daemons etc is the only way to recover. As soon as at least one quanta is running, and authenticated to that server, any number of new files can be opened simultaniously. (since the authentication dialog works different since it has allready authenticated.) -- nautilus crash, blocks gpanel https://launchpad.net/bugs/47256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
